Fresh from her wedding to friend of 16 years Iwan Lewis, former Corrie star Faye Brookes is looking to her future and is rebranding herself with her married name change. <\/p>\n

Talking to OK! <\/b>post wedding, actress Faye, 36, explained: \u201cI\u2019m changing my name and I\u2019m no longer going to be known as Faye Brookes. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot a lot of people in the industry do this, but I\u2019m so proud and so excited to see what could come of that idea of introducing myself to the world as Faye Alicia Lewis \u2013 which is now my full name."<\/p>\n

Faye played Kate Connor in Coronation Street from 2015 to 2019 and has since kept busy on stage and TV, including a successful stint on Dancing On Ice in 2021.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Faye told us she's going to enjoy a bit of a break from work following her nuptials on the 23rd August. <\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone there [at the wedding] that I\u2019ve worked with is like, \u2018What are you doing next?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Nothing,'' she said. <\/p>\n

"Maybe it\u2019s a good idea for me to step out of the limelight for a little bit and see what job could come my way. What could be the right thing for me as Faye Alicia Lewis?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a "magical" wedding day from start-to-finish for Faye and Iwan who tied the knot in front of 200 guests at St. John The Baptist church in the Cotswolds village of Shipton Moyne, followed by a marquee reception nearby. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was everything I dreamt of and more,\u201d she told us after the event. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was lost for words at points during the day, it was amazing,\u201d Iwan added. <\/p>\n

The couple, who are currently honeymooning in The Maldives, are looking to their future, with business ventures in the pipeline and hopes to start a family together. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly ambitious as a couple,\u201d theatre producer Iwan said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are best mates, but also, we\u2019re amazing colleagues. I want the best for Faye in her career and she wants the best for me in mine. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of business ideas; we\u2019re looking at launching a podcast and a media enterprise. Also, we want to have a family. All of the above is possible. I\u2019m ambitious, Faye\u2019s even more ambitious \u2013 gosh, we\u2019ll have nine Pomeranians and 14 kids!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
